Practical synthesis of S-alkyl thiocarbamate herbicides by carbonylation of amines with carbon monoxide and sulfur

An industrial and economic carbonylation of amines with carbon monoxide and sulfur has been developed for the synthesis of S-alkyl thiocarbamate herbicides. In the presence of potassium carbonate and solvent DMSO, S-alkyl thiocarbamates, such as thiobencarb and orbencarb (herbicides) are synthesized in excellent yields from amines, carbon monoxide, sulfur, and alkyl halides under mild conditions (1 atm, 20 °C).

Herbicidal ionic liquid with dual-function

Herbicidal ionic liquid with dual functions has been synthesized and characterized (properties, chemical stability and biological activity). 2-Chloroethyltrimethylammonium (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetate prepared in an alkaline environment undergoes the reaction of dehydrochlorination by the E2 mechanism. This may be described as a specific instance of providing third generation ILs with high potential of application, which preserve both pesticidal properties: the herbicidal activity due to their anions and plant growth inhibition effect due to their cations.     

Triazine herbicide imprinted monolithic column for capillary electrochromatography

Trietazine was selectively separated from aqueous solution containing the competitor molecule cyanazine, which is similar in size and shape to the template molecule. Structural features of the molecularly imprinted column were figured out by SEM. The influence of the mobile‐phase composition, applied electrical field, and pH of the mobile phase on the recognition of trietazine by the imprinted monolithic polymer has been evaluated, and the imprint effect in the trietazine‐imprinted monolithic polymer was demonstrated by an imprinting factor. The optimized monolithic column resulted in separation of trietazine from a structurally related competitor molecule, cyanazine. In addition, fast separation was obtained within 6 min by applying higher electrical field, with the electrophoretic mobility of 2.97 × 10^?8 m²V^?1s^?1 at pH 11.0.     

Discovery of a herbicidal lead using polymer-bound activated esters in generating a combinatorial library of amides and esters

Summary A combinatorial library containing mixtures of amides and esters was prepared through solid-phase chemistry. The advantages of using solid-phase chemistry over solution-phase chemistry to prepare this library are discussed. The library was screened through a high-throughput whole organism herbicidal assay upon which a mixture containing amides was found to have herbicidal activity. Deconvolution of the mixture providedN-(3-benzoylphenyl)-3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1-methyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide as a herbicidal lead with broadleaf and narrowleaf pre-emergence herbicidal activity as low as 100 g/ha on some weed species. This study represents the first report of an agrochemical discovered using a combinatorial approach. Supplementary Material, comprising experimental procedures for the preparation of resin II and the reaction of II with nucleophiles, GC/MS and LC/MS data for the reaction ofII with morpholine, and a detailed experimental for the preparation of 2 with characterization data, is available upon request.     

Determination of frequently detected herbicides in water by solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography coupled to ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry

A method based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with GC and ion trap tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the analysis of nine herbicides and degradation products, among the most frequently found in natural water. A polydimethylsiloxane–divinylbenzene (PDMS–DVB)-coated fiber was selected to extract the analytes directly from the samples over the 0.01–1 μg L⁻¹ concentration range. Optimization of manual and automated SPME was performed on the basis of desorbed amounts, via various factorial experiment designs. Of the two modes, the automated one was found to be the most efficient. Memory effect was avoided owing to the 10-min fiber desorption time. Limits of detection reached down to below 0.01 μg L⁻¹ and repeatability ranged from 3 to 15% in natural water. A validation study was conducted involving the quantitation of the target compounds in Seine water with SPME/GC–MS-MS external calibration.     

Mass Spectrometric (FAB) Study of Aspartic Acid Side Reactions in Peptide Synthesis

Abstract

We have been interested in the synthesis of branched peptides, by grafting an amine, eg histamine, to the carboxylic group of aspartic acid side chain of Boc-β Ala-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH₂ also called Pentagastrin (or α-PG). Depending on the coupling conditions used, the main product obtained might be either the wanted derivative or a side-product identified a6 amino-succinyl-pentagastrin (or ASC-PG). Acid or base treatment of this product cleaved the amino-succinyl ring and yielded either α-PG or/and (β-Aspartyl)⁴-PC or β-PG. Amino-succinylation being a general problem in peptide synthesis of aspartyl residue containing peptides, synthesis of α-PG, β-PG, Asc-PG and their corresponding C-terminal dipeptide amides were performed to be analyzed by mass spectroscopy.

FAB mass spectra (PI in glycerol) of the free peptides, as well as of their N-Boc derivatives have been recorded and compared to the mono, di, tri and tetra peptide derivatives. The pseudo-molecular ions of Boc-peptides are usually not observed. However, the intense M+1-Boc (? 100 u) ions are present.

Several sequence ions have been identified and compared to the simulation of their spectra according to six fragmentation routes.

The identification of α, β or succinimide structures from FAB spectra has been proposed.
